CC Convention Mode replaces the standard collection view with a streamlined, mobile-first display purpose-built for selling comics at conventions and live events. Instead of navigating your WordPress admin while a customer waits at your table, you get a fast, visual interface that handles everything from browsing inventory to closing a sale in a single tap.
The display presents your comics in a large thumbnail grid optimized for tablet and phone screens. Each card shows the cover image, title, issue number, publisher, year, condition grade, and price at a glance. Slabbed books, key issues, and variants get their own color-coded badges so standout inventory is easy to spot across the table. You control the column count, items per page, and sort order, and an alphabet filter bar lets you jump to any letter of your inventory instantly.
Selling is fast. A red “Sold” button appears on every card, and you can configure it to either ask for a sale price or mark the book as sold immediately with one tap. When you confirm a sale, the card fades out of the display, your live inventory count and total value update in the top bar, and the comic moves to your sold archive with the price and date recorded. If you make a mistake, a 10-second undo toast appears at the bottom of the screen so you can reverse it before the window closes.
QR codes can be enabled on every card, giving convention-goers a way to interact with your inventory from their own phone. Scanning a QR code takes the buyer to the comic’s product page or, if you have the CC Offers extension active, directly to a make-an-offer form with the comic pre-selected. This lets interested buyers start a negotiation on the spot without holding up your line.
If you use the CC Lot Sales extension to bundle comics together, lots appear in the convention grid alongside individual books. Each lot card displays the bundle name, comic count, price, and a swipeable image slideshow of every cover in the lot. A “More Info” button links to the full WooCommerce product page for customers who want details before committing.
The entire interface is fully customizable with eight independent color settings covering the background, cards, text, accent highlights, price labels, badges, borders, and buttons. The default dark theme is designed for high visibility in crowded convention halls, but you can adjust every color to match your booth branding. Grid density, QR code size, and price visibility are all configurable from the settings page.
Convention Mode is built for touch. Buttons are sized for finger taps, the sold action is always visible on touch devices without needing a hover state, and lot image carousels support swipe gestures. The layout adapts automatically between phone, tablet, and desktop screen sizes, so you can run it on whatever device you bring to the show.
For comics linked to WooCommerce products, a “Buy Now” button adds the item directly to the customer’s cart. Combined with QR codes and the offer system, this gives you three ways to close a deal at the booth: instant sold, cart checkout, or negotiated offer.
CC Convention Mode is for dealers, shop owners, and serious sellers who bring inventory to conventions and want a modern point-of-sale experience that runs entirely on their own WordPress site. Set up your display before the show, hand your tablet to a helper or prop it up at your booth, and manage your entire inventory without ever opening the admin dashboard.
